Integration of components on the PCB: the i² Board®

The trend is towards increasingly smaller and more
powerful devices. But because of the number of highly pinned components,
there is little scope to reduce the PCB surface. The solution: by
integrating a chip into the PCB this becomes an intelligent component.

High precision production with inexpensive processes.

The decisive element is the highly precise positioning
of the chip on the so-called interposer, an intermediate layer in the
PCB. Another challenge is to connect the extremely fine structures of
the small chips with the comparatively rough structures of the PCB.
Schweizer Electronic solves this by means of modified manufacturing
processes in series production – and can therefore offer this forward
looking product inexpensively.

The future: intelligent PCBs from Schweizer Electronic.

Applications:

All
applications where further miniaturisation is only possible by burying
components. Also with applications where access to the integrated chip
is to be prevented (manipulation security)
